Configuring an SAP R/3 Backup

Configuring an SAP R/3 Backup

To configure an SAP R/3 backup, perform the following steps:

1.Configure the devices you plan to use for a backup. See the online Help index keyword “configuring devices” for instructions.

2.Configure media pools and media for a backup. Refer to the online Help index keyword “creating media pools” for instructions.

3.Create a Data Protector SAP R/3 backup specification. See “Creating a Data Protector SAP R/3 Backup Specification” on page 180.

4.Create or modify the parameter file on the SAP R/3 Database Server. See “Creating or Modifying the Parameter File on the SAP R/3 Database Server” on page 190.

5.If you plan to use Recovery Manager for backup, you must do some additional configuration steps. See “Backing Up Using Recovery Manager” on page 191.

Creating a New Template

You can use backup templates to apply the same set of options to several backup specifications. By creating your own template, you can specify the options exactly as you want them to be.

This allows you to apply the options to a backup specification with a few mouse clicks, rather than having to specify the options over and over again. This task is optional, as you can use one of the default templates as well.

To create a new backup template, proceed as follows in the Data Protector Manager:

1.In the Context List, select Backup.

2.In the Scoping Pane, expand Templates and right-click SAP R/3.

3.Click Add Template. Follow the wizard to define the appropriate backup options in your template.

You can also modify any of the existing pre-defined templates.
